Star Wars was more realistic.
As history it leaves a lot to be desired but it is great story telling. I will bet it has numerous Oscar nominations and maybe some wins even if I have had trouble understanding just why some of the latest Best Pictures were voted by Academy Members to be the winners.

Check out the BBC docu drama Dunkirk. It has a very young Benedict Cumberbatch as one of the heroes of the rear guard actions. Dunkirk (TV series - Wikipedia) Dunkirk (TV Movie 2004) - IMDb
